Metallica guitarist James Hetfield is responsible for designing the group’s former and current logos. The original logo made its first appearance on the band’s business card in the 80s. The design changed when ‘Load’ was released in 1996, but the classic print showed up once again on the 'Death Magnetic' album cover. Hetfield is also responsible for the band's ninja star and scary guy logos.
